Chapter 149 Zheng Xian sends Bai Luo away
But now he has to rush to Haishi to carry out an assassination mission, and he can't take care of Bai Luo here in Yangshi. He has to think of a way to get the little guy away and get him to a safe place.
After pondering for a long time, Zheng Xian slowly spoke.
"Xiao Luo, although I've taken care of everyone, there's no guarantee that some people won't still have ulterior motives and turn their attention to you. I happen to need your help with something, and you can lay low for a while."
After hearing Zheng Xian's words, Bai Luo thought for a moment and nodded. He wasn't an ungrateful person.
"What's up?"
Zheng Xian didn't mince words and spoke directly.
"You know my identity. I have a letter, some military maps, and some medicine that you need to deliver to the headquarters of the First Column of the Red Army on the plateau in the neighboring western province."
Bai Luo was shocked to hear that it was so far away, and that it would take a long time to go back and forth. He was hoping to earn more points.
Zheng Xian also noticed the displeasure on Bai Luo's face.
He thought to himself that he couldn't give this brat a chance to refuse.
"What? Brother Zheng, you can't even help with such a small favor? You know, I went with you when you wanted to blow up the airport, and I spent half the day cleaning up your mess today. And I'll ask you for the gun you promised me before..."
"Stop, stop, stop! I'll go, I'll deliver it. I'll give you the gun right away too."
Bai Luo couldn't stand Zheng Xian's nagging anymore; he knew Zheng Xian meant well.
Realizing he was in the wrong, he pretended to go into the inner room and stuffed the Benelli M1014 that Zheng Xian had previously set his sights on, along with 200 rounds of shotgun shells, into Zheng Xian's hand to shut him up.
Holding the gun, Zheng Xian chuckled inwardly, looking at the somewhat depressed Bai Luo. "Little brat, I can't handle you." At the same time, he wondered what Bai Luo had to be nostalgic about in Yang City.
After thinking about it for a long time without finding a solution, he gave up on thinking about it. He probably hadn't had enough fun in Yang City yet.
But Zheng Xian's happiness quickly faded.
That evening, Zheng suffered a crushing defeat after participating in a battle for food.
He vowed never to sit at the same table with those two kids again.
He's only half full now, and most of what he ate was rice.
After having a good meal, Zheng went out for a while.
Half an hour later, they returned to the courtyard.
I also have an extra large package in my hand.
"Xiao Luo, everything's here. When are you planning to leave?"
Zheng handed a large package to Bai Luo and asked.
Bai Luo was eager to finish delivering the goods and return, hoping he could make it back in time for the second half of the game.
"We'll be leaving shortly."
"Alright, I'll prepare a carriage for you, so your journey will be easier."
"No, I have a way."
Upon hearing Zheng Xian's words, Bai Luo immediately refused. When he agreed to the request, he had already planned to exchange the money for a cat-shaped car and travel at full speed that night.
That'll be much faster. I reckon he'll be able to eat something hot when he gets back.
Zheng Xian looked at Bai Luo with a puzzled expression, unable to think of any quick solution Bai Luo might have.
But I didn't ask any more questions. I knew in my heart that this kid was very capable.
At 9 p.m., Zheng Xian sent the two people and the bear out of Yang City and then returned.
After Zheng left, Bai Luo signaled to Sha Niu to wait for him outside the city for a while, and then returned to Yang City alone.
It was almost dawn when Bai Luo left Yang City again.
9: am.
When Zheng arrived at the intelligence agency's compound, he found it deserted.
With most of the people gone, Zheng thought some emergency had occurred and quickly grabbed a passing intelligence agent to ask.
"Xiao Wu, what happened? Where did everyone go?"
Xiao Wu saw that it was Zheng Xian who was pulling him, and when he heard Zheng Xian's question, Xiao Wu sighed and said...
"Section Chief Zheng, you may not know this, but this morning, many officials' homes in the city were burgled, and the police have been searching all morning without finding any clues."
That's when someone thought of our intelligence agency. I don't know who came up with the bad idea, but these officials found someone to pull strings and ask us to help them investigate.
The section chief couldn't refuse, so he arranged for someone to investigate so he would have a reason to deal with the group of officials who came to his door.
Zheng Xian was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Is this thief really that bold?"
After learning that there was no emergency, Mr. Zheng relaxed.
"Just give us a quick answer. We're leaving for Haishi the day after tomorrow, so get ready."
Zheng patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and walked towards his office.
After leaving Yang City, Bai Luo drove northwest, and by the afternoon, he had entered the territory of Xi Province.
At this time, Bai Luo and Sha Niu had found a ravine to park and rest.
Because the ferry to Jinshi had stopped operating, Bai Luo had to take a long detour along the Jin River before finding a place to cross it.
However, after entering the western province, Bai Luo seriously underestimated the terrain. There are many mountains here, and many roads go around the foot of the mountains, which is equivalent to increasing the distance.
Bai Luo felt cheated, but there was nothing he could do. He took out the national map that Zhang Weiguo had given him and discovered that the western province was a plateau covered by loess, with most areas having an altitude of over 1500 meters.
Bai Luo's target location this time is near Qi County, which is under the jurisdiction of the original city.
Judging from the current road conditions, Bai Luo estimated that it would take 3 to 4 days to get there.
With a sigh, Bai Luo put away the map and looked at the silly girl and silly bear who were already asleep on the cat-themed assault vehicle. He figured that things would have to stay like this for the next few days.
Three days later, the two people and the bear finally arrived at a place about 50 kilometers away from Qi County. It was snowing heavily, and the snow on the ground was already up to Bai Luo's ankles.
Bai Luo drove the cat-themed car slowly and leisurely across the desolate plateau.
Bai Luo gripped the steering wheel while flipping through the map in his hand. When he realized that they were almost there, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He also felt that the place was too desolate. Bai Luo hadn't encountered many villages along the way.
Suddenly, the Japanese soldier insignia popped up on Bai Luo's mental radar.
Bai Luo slammed on the brakes, and the cat car came to a stop immediately, causing the dozing bear to tumble over.
Bai Luo took out equipment directly from his spatial storage, and the two immediately changed into their new gear.
After changing their equipment, Bai Luo put away the cat-shaped stroller and, with Silly Girl and Silly Bear, crept towards the direction of the Japanese soldiers.
When they were still a kilometer away from the Japanese soldiers, several more Red Party symbols appeared on Bai Luo's mental radar.
This gave Bai Luo a jolt of energy; he had finally found the person.
He quickened his pace and, when he reached a hillside about 200 meters behind the Japanese soldiers, he could already see them below. Bai Luo lay down on the spot and looked down at the Japanese troops through his binoculars.
Below the hillside was a dilapidated village, nestled between two mountains. Most of the houses in the village had collapsed, leaving only ruins, making it look very desolate.
Meanwhile, the Japanese soldiers were scattered and guarding the village's several entrances and exits.
Bai Luo roughly counted the number of Japanese soldiers; there were only a little over 100 in total.
There were also three Red Party symbols in the village, and Bai Luo immediately understood the situation.
